Principles for a Healthy Life

what kind? There are so many to choose from.

I hear that Bear shit can be good depending on what the bear ate.

Simple answer...'Be the love that you are'.

I agree, thanks for posting this




Drink lots of water

Procrastination is often the refuge of the perfectionist. Lower your ideals. While it may seem contrary to Peals's advice, try it. If you want to be an artist and your expectation of producing the perfect painting (that you imagine) but never pick up the brush and practice, your painting would never appear. Break down your desired outcome into smaller more attainable and reasonable goals.

Thinking that you are lazy is bad self-talk. So start the year with a positive affirmation. I am full of energy and absolutely rock at accomplishing my tasks.

Our emotions are "verbally mediated". Which means that what we say to ourselves about people, situations, and events is what really determines how we "feel" about those people, situations, and events.

Self talk is not bs, it has a tremendous influence on outcomes, all other things being equal...

Ahh not so simple. Yes be the love, but gotta put more action into our thoughts and feelings.

I found this link a few days ago, I thought it had some very good points on how to live a healthy, productive life. It's time for us, especially me, to strengthen our will~power and self~control. It is not easy, it takes practice. Something as trivial as stopping the thoughts that run through our mind daily can be difficult, and don't get me started on negative 'thought~loops'...lol...Personally, I struggle with procrastination, not wanting to take action immediately. I tend to self~justify 'why' I can't do *it* right now (I'm the worst with meditation). So I'm always looking for a small 'checklist' I can ask myself to see if I'm on the right track and this one fit the bill. Hope this helps someone as much as it did me.

Mr. Peel has also suggested following practical tips, which are very effective in improvement of talents for a progressive life:

(i) One should throw away the negative thoughts of pessimism and lack of confidence in the success of the work at hand.

(ii) One should cultivate the habit of self-analysis to know his qualities and potentials and also practice autosuggestion to strengthen the positive aspects.

(iii) Thinking should not remain confined to selfish affairs; one should also plan for other’s welfare and attempt materialization of the same.

(iv) God-gifted willpower and inner strength should be used creatively and cautiously to avoid the wastage and misuse of the mental and physical potentials and talents.

(v) Daily routine should be well planned - keeping in mind that every step in life should lead towards higher goals.

(vi) The energy and activities of mind should be oriented in a positive direction by creative thinking and adept learning.

(vii) One should practise linking the self with divinity every day and night - by way of prayers, meditation etc, as an integral part of life.

This cultivates inner strength and virtues to enable one to overcome all difficulties and adversities and even do what would appear impossible to many others in general.
Sincere adoption of above mentioned habits and suggestions protects waning and decay of inherited talents and transmutes one’s mental potentials to reach high realms of progressive life.

1) Eat a 100% anti-inflammatory diet. No exceptions on this, its the foundation of good health. This means eliminating gluten, dairy and most meats. Most all sugars and night shade based plants. Fish and eggs are ok, they absorb quickly and have essential fatty acids.

[. . .]

Do not under estimate the power of key hormones when it comes to vitality and health.

Stop eating sugar.

NONO NO !!!

if that bear was prone to eating outta garbage dumps, then you'll end up with trichinosis.

Not pleasant. at all.

Easiest step to take to changing your life for the better starting today is to make new 'rules' for your life, write them down where you can see them daily, then live them.

I stick to a basic four:

*Be kind

*Be honest

*Always take the 'high road' in any given situation. (Be respectful even when angry)

*Lead by example and not by your mouth

^^this last one took me awhile to grasp...lol...



Seems pretty simple, eh? But if we're 100% honest with ourselves we will find we stay busy to avoid being honest with ourselves...slow down and ask yourself, "Why am I acting or thinking this way?" Try to get to the root of why your actions are not lining up with your thoughts.
